9. There is no way we could have gotten everything right.

It's not just Trump's treaty but he has messed up every single department of our government in the last 4-1/2 years, especially State, and that can't be fixed in 7 months. What he did to the refugee and asylum programs themselves was enough to wreck getting our allies out in time. I think, though, that they should do a special dispensation or whatever it's called to get the refugees out of there. The hell with visas for the time being. The ones without papers can be taken to Guam or someplace not inside the continental US, but everyone who truly wants out of there should be accepted. That part we can and should do, despite the cries of the Nazis.

And yes, I like Eric Boehlert, too. I don't do Twitter but I've been reading him off and on since Media Matters.
